1. Compute your BMI .

2. Research the definition of Non-Locomotor and Locomotor Movement.

LOCOMOTOR
Webster's Dictionary defines locomotor movement as "the act or power of moving from
one place to another." In other words, moving from point A to point B. Locomotor movement
"typically entails moving throughout the wider, available area, with the body not fastened and
with complete transfer of weight." Walking, jumping, running, hopping, leaping, sliding,
galloping, crawling, and skipping are all basic locomotor movements. If you look at the
technique foundation for each dance form, you'll notice that these basic locomotor choices are
fashioned in a unique way in each technique base, making that style stand out. Of course, if you
want to, you can invent new locomotor movements.  The movements just need to travel from one
place to another.

NON-LOCOMOTOR MOVEMENT
Non-locomotor movement is defined as "movement that revolves around the center axis
of the body (the spine) rather than movement that moves the body through space." It remains
stationary. Bend-straighten, twist-turn, swing-rock, push-pull, curl-stretch, and rise-fall are some
of the most basic non-locomotor actions. Non-locomotor dance motions can be found in any
dance method I've ever seen, just like locomotor dance moves. They are excellent options for
choreographic development and dancer experimentation. Of course, a choreographer can
construct new non-locomotor moves for any dance, just as they do for locomotor movement.
